C323 The Old Man's Gaze Is Not Right
Jian Xi looked at Yu Lei apologetically. "Sorry, he did not do it on purpose. He just... might have gone crazy from hunger!"
Jian Xi did not know how to explain. She was not very familiar with Bai Xiujie. She said she was not familiar with him, but she knew him. Furthermore, Bai Xiujie picked up the breakfast without permission and did not ask a single question.
She knew both sides, so she could only apologize and explain.
"It's okay!" Yu Lei gritted his teeth and said, but when he looked at Jian Xi, he still had a kind smile on his face. "I will buy another one for you."
No matter how angry he was, Yu Lei would not have any objections to Jian Xi. However, he would remember the person who ate the breakfast he had prepared.
If it was not for Jian Xi's ward, Yu Lei would have already settled the score with Bai Xiujie.
"No need. Dr. Yu, there are more here. I can't eat that much alone." Jian Xi pointed at the thermos and said.
Almost every day, when she woke up, there was a breakfast on the table and it was stored in a thermos. No matter what time she woke up, she could eat warm breakfast.
At first Jian Xi thought that Mrs Zhang specially prepared it. Until one morning, Jian Xi woke up due to the urge to pee and went to the toilet. When she came back, she was much more awake.
Then she felt that someone had walked in quietly and placed the things on the bed. After checking it out, she tucked her under the blanket and sat on the chair to look at her for a while before leaving.
Jian Xi could smell a faint scent similar to ancient dragon water from that person's body and knew that it was not the Mrs Zhang she thought of. She did not open her eyes to pretend to be asleep until that person turned around and left. Jian Xi then opened her eyes and looked at that person's back.
The back view was very familiar. Jian Xi recognized it at a glance. It was Qu Yichen.
Jian Xi was surprised and touched. She did not expect Qu Yichen to be so careful. He had done so much for her in an unknown manner and did not even say anything to take credit for it.
Although she really wanted to tell Qu Yichen that she did not need to work so hard to send breakfast to her every day, Qu Yichen did not say anything. Jian Xi did not want to say it directly, even if it was a roundabout way. Qu Yichen was watertight and didn't reveal anything. If she didn't see Qu Yichen with her own eyes, she really thought that it was someone else who gave her breakfast.
Although she did not say it out loud, Jian Xi kept the things that Qu Yichen did for her in her heart bit by bit. She thought that she must repay Qu Yichen properly.
This time, if it wasn't for Qu Yichen, she might have already been tortured to death by Zhao Zihao. If Qu Yichen came a few minutes later, she might have already died.
Thinking of this, Jian Xi's heart couldn't help but tremble. She heard Tian Dou tell Jian Xi that Qu Yichen had done something to save her. It was a lie to say that she wasn't touched.
When she was dreaming at midnight, Jian Xi sometimes also thought about why the person who suggested to help her at that time wasn't Qu Yichen. A man as good as him, she would definitely fall in love with him. Maybe they...
A dim light flashed in Yu Lei's eyes. He looked at the thermos on the table. He didn't seem to think that it was breakfast inside. But seeing Jian Xi so sure and her radiant appearance, Yu Lei felt that it was an eyesore.
He hoped that Jian Xi's smile and expression were for him and would only be shown in front of him. Jian Xi was so pure. If she revealed such a shocking smile in front of those stinky men, they would definitely have designs on her.
"Is this breakfast?"
"Yes!," Jian Xi nodded.
Although Bai Xiujie was eating breakfast on the sofa, he did not look at Jian Xi and the others. He had been paying attention to the two of them. From the moment he came in, Bai Xiujie did not have a good impression of that man. Especially when he looked at Jian Xi with a possessive gaze.
If it wasn't because of Jian Xi's alienation towards that man, Bai Xiujie would have chased him out long ago!
"Jian Xi, I..."
Yu Lei urgently wanted to say something, but just as he said it, he heard a sound behind him. Only then did he remember that there was another man in the room.
He looked at Jian Xi who was wearing a sick gown and looked weak. He had forgotten about Bai Xiujie!
Jian Xi looked up at Yu Lei with confusion in her eyes. She did not understand what he wanted to say to her, but Yu Lei looked at her in the eyes. For some reason, Jian Xi had a bad feeling about it.
But when she saw that he did not say it in the end, Jian Xi did not know why, but she heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's okay! Since you have friends, I will go back first. I will come and see you next time." Yu Lei glanced at Bai Xiujie, who was sitting on the sofa and eating breakfast. He did not look at them.
There were some things that were hard to say with outsiders around. He could only tell Jian Xi the next time no one was around.
Jian Xi had more than one excellent man by her side. Even though Yu Lei was unwilling to admit it, Jian Xi did have a kind of attraction.
If he did not make a move or make a move, Jian Xi would definitely be tricked away by those stinky men.
"Okay, thank you for coming to see me today." Jian Xi said with a gentle smile.
Yu Lei reluctantly turned around and left Jian Xi's ward. Jian Xi saw it and felt her scalp go numb. The smile on her face also became very stiff.
Once he walked out of Jian Xi's ward, the expression on Yu Lei's face faded. He became very cold and ugly. The patients and nurses in the past were shocked. Even the nurses who knew Yu Lei well did not dare to go forward to recognize him. They hurriedly ran in front of him.
Once Yu Lei left, Bai Xiujie finished the breakfast in his hands. He stood up from the sofa like a hooligan and walked to Jian Xi's hospital bed. He looked at the people still at the door and said.
"Who was that person just now? Why do I feel that something is wrong?"
Hearing Bai Xiujie's words, Jian Xi speechlessly glared at Bai Xiujie. She had always felt that Bai Xiujie was very thick-skinned, but she never thought that he would be so thick-skinned. Not only did he come every day to pester her, he also didn't give her any peace and quiet. He even ate the breakfast that was specially prepared for her.
Could there be someone who was even more abnormal than him?
Bai Xiujie took a glance and could tell what Jian Xi was thinking at that moment. She looked at her as if she had experienced Zhao Zihao's incident, but she still did not feel any sense of crisis. She shook her head helplessly and kindly reminded Jian Xi.
"That old man's look at you is not right. You should be more careful." Seeing Jian Xi's disbelieving expression, Bai Xiujie said somewhat helplessly. "Don't not believe it. You are not a man. You do not know the way a man looks at a woman. And the way he looks at you makes me very uncomfortable."
